Hearing the movement behind her, the woman said without even turning her head, "You're here!"

Meng Chong, who had just climbed through the window and entered the room, was stunned for a moment, then walked up and sat in front of her, "How did you know it was me?"

Xiaotu raised his head from the big bowl and mumbled while chewing, "I guessed it!"

Meng Chong felt helpless when he saw her like this, "Okay, just guess. I came here this time because I know you are so confident in going with them, so you must have some backup plan. I wanted to come and see if there is anything I can do to help.

Xiaotu blinked when he heard that, "Backhand?"

Meng Chong moved closer to her and said solemnly, "Yes, you can tell me. I can help you. Whether it's passing on a message or finding someone to rescue you quickly, I can do it for you."

After saying that, he looked at her with expectant eyes.

Xiao Tu looked at his face and blinked twice, "No~"

Meng Chong's face was solemn and stiff. After a while, he moved his lips and said, "No, no?"

Xiaotu shrugged, "Yeah~, there's no backup, no one, just me!"

If Meng Chong hadn't been afraid of being discovered by the people watching outside the door, he would have jumped up in anger. He stared at his already large eyes and said in a low voice, "You are so calm without me. You, you are still eating here?"

Xiao Tu replied with reason, "I've been hungry for several days and I don't have any strength at all. How can I not eat?"

Meng Chong was almost anxious to death, "You, you are really..." He rubbed his head vigorously a few times, "Forget it, have you eaten? If you're done, come with me. I will take you away from here. After you get out, go as far as you can and don't come back."

Xiaoturen sat still and said calmly, "Why should I leave? There is food and drink here, how nice~"

Meng Chong wanted to rub his head again. He took a breath and said seriously again, "Girl, I know you are smart and you should be able to see your situation, but I'm afraid you don't know the seriousness of this matter."

Xiao Tu raised her chin towards him and said, "Tell me!"

Meng Chong had no choice but to explain, "This is a long story. In recent years, Huangtu County has had heavy rains for years, and the riverbeds are full. Several times, the water broke through the dams and flooded many villages. Since the fifth year, the county has started to hold the Dragon God Festival, but unlike ordinary sacrifices, the sacrifices are not animals, but living people!"

Speaking of this, Meng Chong's eyes were cold.

Xiao Tu also stopped eating.

Seeing her reaction, Meng Chong continued in a cold voice, "These people select young girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty from each village in the county every year. During the Dragon God Festival, they tie these girls to rafts and send them into the river to offer sacrifice to the Dragon King."

At this point, his voice was cold and extremely sarcastic. "They all said that these girls were to be given to the Dragon King as his wives, so each one had to be the prettiest in the village. They also said that these girls followed the Dragon King to enjoy a good life. If any family dared to make trouble, it would be disrespectful to the Dragon King, and the whole family would be arrested and beheaded."

As he said this, he laughed, and every word he said was filled with hatred. "What a blessing! Such a great blessing, why don't these people enjoy it? Instead, they let us, the lowly and dirty pariahs in their eyes, get the benefit?"

Xiao Tu put down her bowl and chopsticks, and slowly wiped her red lips with a handkerchief. "Do you know who is involved in this matter?"
